    Reno American Little League

    Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets. --US Navy…read morewounded Veteran Yogi Berra The crack of the bat and the scent of leather gloves bring back my own pleasant memories of my children, youngster relatives in Little League. Founded in 1939, Little League® is the world's largest organized youth sports program, with approximately two million players (ages 4-16) playing baseball and softball in communities across every U.S. state and more than 80 other countries. Operated by more than one million volunteers, Little League believes in the power of youth baseball and softball to teach life lessons that build stronger individuals and communities. Supporting Little League Baseball to me is part of being an American. The youngsters having fun while trying, learning and getting exercise is just so American. "When they start the game, they don't yell, "Work ball." They say, "Play ball."" said Willie Stargell of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Among the most feared power hitters in baseball history, in 1979, he became the first and currently only player to win the NL Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award, the NL Championship Series MVP Award and the World Series MVP Award in one season. I'm reassured that staff here gets background checked. I've found Board members and staff to be professional. Established 1951, their home fields are now at Terrace Sports Complex and NW Fields (Clayton Middle School) in NW Reno. Dress in layers for winds can get chilly. Bring tp. Bathrooms need cleaning far more often then they are. Has NO Veterans or Military Discount. Beware for a very small minority of parents here can be real scary. Their goal is for their child to always work to win, be the star, be perfect. Fun, play is discouraged. To me, work is what you have to do, whether you get paid for it or not; and play is what you enjoy doing, whether you get paid for it or not. So, I feel sorry for their children for they don't look like they're enjoying themselves. I keep my distance from those Little League parent-dictators with their public control-freakery, impunity, arbitrary unreasonable belittling of their children. My large extended family is an American baseball family. Got a young cousin who plays with this Reno American Little League. He schedules five minutes a week practicing his autograph on softballs and baseballs. I admire his belief in himself. In the beginning he was so anxious. So was his mother. After some games, his mother still bemoans ala Erma Bombeck, "Who in their infinite wisdom decreed that Little League uniforms be white? Certainly not a mother." He's reached the age in Little League when he now occasionally seriously questions an umpire's ruling. Heck, even the pros make errors, strike out I often remind him. I suggested he google search Little League Rules https://www.littleleague.org/playing-rules/rules-regulations-policies/, schedule time each week to review them and then discuss it with his father, grandfathers, uncles, or older male cousins first when he disagrees. I say males although in 1974, the Little League® Federal Charter was amended; allowing girls to play Little League Baseball®. Since then, several of youngster female relatives and the vast majority of my youngster male relatives have played in Little League through-out the country. I think this Little Leaguer's growing to like knowing the rules more than playing the game. That's okay by me. I then introduced him to Major League Baseball Umpires Hall of Fame https://www.mlb.com/official-information/umpires/history/hall-of-fame. I then told him about US Army Ranger wounded Veteran Nestor L. Chylak Jr., who received both the Silver Star and Purple Heart after being seriously wounded in the Battle of the Bulge, then joined the American League in 1954 and umpired for 25 seasons until a mild stroke forced him to retire in 1978. He was at first base for Bill Mazeroski's home run that ended the 1960 World Series. http://www.indianamilitary.org/Camp%20Atterbury/SpecialPeople/Chylak-Nestor/Nestor%20Chylak.htm. On this day in history 15 December 1983, US Navy WWII wounded Veteran Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra named New York Yankees manager for second time. Berra signed with the New York Yankees in 1943, then put his baseball career on hold to join the US Navy. Served 1943 - 1945. Achieved rank of Seaman Second Class. His naval unit was Landing Craft Support Gunner where he was a Gunner's Mate assigned to the attack transport USS Bayfield. Berra was responsible for the operation and maintenance of weapons and other ordnance equipment, as well as small arms and magazines. He was in horrific Normandy landing at Utah Beach, France, on D-Day, 6 June 1944. Berra was wounded in his hand by incoming enemy fire for which he was later awarded the Purple Heart Medal. In the years following his Navy Honorable Discharge, he continued to support the GIs and Veterans.

I frequently brought my oldest to this park and the Wilbur D May museum over the years for certain exhibitions. It was convenient since we were in NW Reno area. Tea parties and picnics by the playground and hikes up to the "N" during warmer spring and summer months. The playground is currently under construction and might be our favorite. I look forward to bringing my little when it's reopened. This past weekend my kids and I attended the great Reno balloon races and this event never disappoints. It's an annual tradition that I'm glad my oldest still partakes in for now. This was the largest turnout I've seen in all my years of attendance and living in Reno. The staff that organized/worked this event were well prepared and it was organized; thank you for your hard work and for all of the participants. Next year this event will run 4 days! I'm already looking forward to coming back. I look forward to returning when the playground is completed and visiting when I'm in old NW Reno.

There are a lot of mature trees which provide shade, however, there were a few homeless people sleeping under the trees. There are four full court basketball courts. There are tennis courts at this park. There are two covered eating areas at this park. There are several picnic tables spread throughout the park. There is a walkway which goes through the park. There are bathrooms at this park. The bathroom was clean on the inside. There is a large, grassy area to play on. The playgrounds at Dick Taylor are fantastic. The soft padding underneath the playgrounds is worn but the equipment is in good condition. There are three play structures to play on. One is for toddlers and the other two are for the bigger kids. There are swings and toddler swings at this playground. There is one swings called the Liberty Swing which looked cool. There are zip lines at this park. There are plenty of fun options on these playgrounds. There are two baseball/softball fields at this park. There were on bases on either field. This park has a lot to offer. If the city cleaned it up a little bit it would easily be a 5 star park. Have fun out there. -Dadzone
